Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They're just trying to delegitimize the whole process, cheapen it by turning it into just a political stunt, so that the next time Democrats go to impeach somebody, it will be such a trivial affair that the American public just won't even care. That Trump was previously impeached twice will just be like, "Oh, who hasn't been impeached yet?" That Gaetz is calling it out is a little strange, I'm assuming there's some sort of angle in it for him, like it makes it sound like he's just "telling it like it is" or whatever.
Impeachment is already a political joke. If it meant anything, Trump would have been disqualified literally years ago.
The impeachment investigations of trump found documents and testimony that has led directly to his indictment.
Its currently useless as a "trial", as the senate will never reach 66 votes for a conviction, but the house investigation is useful if our DOJ isnt chickenshit (i.e there is a democrat in office).
I mean, unfortunately, that last 'if' has proved to be VERY hit and miss, even without Barr protecting anyone.
